Whats up folks

I used to be a pre-med student before I made the switch to dentistry last year. I don't have any dental related volunteer experiences, only shadowing. However I did volunteer at my local hospital for 3 years when I was a pre-med and the volunteer coordinator said she could write me an awesome recommendation letter (mostly because i volunteered around 700 hours in total). But will this be of any benefit to dental school applications since I didn't do anything dental related?

thanks

Volunteering is volunteering and is fine even though it is not dental related. Definitely list it as 700 hours is pretty substantial and will benefit you.
